There are alot of places to eat and convient places to wash your laundry. Motorbike taxis and regular taxis frequent this area so you are always connected to any place you want to go. Two 7-11's are just 3 minutes away by walking, so you can buy bottled water. Right outside the building is a machine that you can pay to refill bottle with filtered water. Street food is abundant and three Italian restaurants are also near. I would stay again the next time I am in the area.
